With cotton planted on the coarse sandy or fine sandy loam soils of 

 the Coastal Plain section of the State, which have open or only mod- 

 erately retentive sandy clay subsoils, it has generally teen found most 

 profitable to divide the whole fertilizer application into two parts, put- 

 ting in one-half in the drill at planting and reserving the other half to 

 be applied alongside the row as a side dressing about July 1. However, 

 instead of this, if the soil is not of too open a nature, all the phosphoric 

 acid and potash with one-half of the nitrogen in the forn;i of cotton-seed 

 meal, dried blood, or some other form of available organic nitrogenous 

 material may be put in at planting of the cotton and the remaining half 

 of the nitrogen reserved to be applied in a more immediately available 

 form, like nitrate of soda, alongside the rows about July 1, after the 

 plants have gotten well started in their growth and the roots have fairly 

 well filled the soil.
